Cuba Military’s port development project

Start here

A promotional 10 minute video was posted on YouTube earlier this week illustrating Cuba’s project to develop (with financing from Brazilian credit) the Port of Mariel, which would include a new pier, cargo terminal, roadways, railways, and warehouses.

Companhia de Obras e Infra-estrutura (COI) a Brazilian corp. (a subsidiary of Odebrecht, S.A.) is involved in this project and its completion is expected in 2014. A northern part of the port will give logistical support for the island’s oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico. Mariel Economic Zone will be the center of merchandise distribution in Cuba and other countries, according to the video’s narration.
